Pros

Recession-proof products. High profit margin. Stable employment if you are in engineering or R&D. Parking is OK. Great location. Food & entertainment is right next door (Asian food mall). Traffic in & out of facility is good. Good Irvine location.

Cons

Almost no chance to move up. Middle mgnt is bad. Turnovers among engineers is relatively high for medical companies because German-owned companies pay low & you work to death if you were in engr, R&D. If you are in production, chance of getting laid off is likely.

Pros

Great company, pay, and work life balance. A great way to transition out of bedside nursing.

Cons

Travel all over the US two weeks out of the month as a part time employee so you have to know that going in.

Pros

Not really much to say other then that if you like working 12 hours a day just for only 3 days in one week and then 4 days the next week, you're not really making enough to cover income.

Cons

Not guaranteed overtime. You could sign up for it and the odds of getting it is very limited. Not guaranteed to get hired on and they could end assignments anytime. You don't make that great of a pay and even if you do get hired on, your options are very limited when it comes to be certified in different areas and you don't have a choice to where you want to be, you end up being in a position that you don't like due to poor management.
